The Dying Girls Message.

Raise the window. mother darling,
African never harm me now;
Let the breeze blow unobstructed,
1t will cool my feyered brow.
Death will soon relieve my sorrow,
Soon will still my aching heart
But have a diving message7
l would speak before part.
There is one, you know him, I.other,
Though cannot speak his name;
You remember how he sought me,
How with gentle words he came.
How he wooed my young affections,
Speaking in loves tender tones,
How he would forever guide me,
When my heart was his alone.
Take this ring from off my finger,
That he placed there long ago;
Give it to him with a blessing,
Which in dying words l breathe,
Tell him tits token, mother,
OF forgiveness, love and peace;
Tell him forgive and wish him
JOY with her so sooa his bride.
I'm so cold, now close the window,
Draw me close up, mother, dear,
While breath out one more sentence,
In your fond and loving ear.
Stay, hear the footsteps coming,
Though It's but the rustling trees,
Strange that my fantastic fancy,
Brought footstep among the leaves.
! am dying, mother, dying,
See the death dew on my brow;
Soon my bo-ly will be lying
In the gsave so cold and low.
Weep not for your dying daughter,
She has been much trouble here;
She is going, going, going,
To that land of song and cheer.

her lover, fretfully, "duty to them, /
